Huang Qiping was the son of the head of the Huang family. He was sincere and kind. He was recognized as the next head of the Huang family. 【..】
But recently, Huang Qiping seemed to have changed into a different person. He would get angry at the slightest thing and would often fly into a rage over trivial matters. He had already chased away several attendants who served him.
On this day, Huang Qiping was drunk in his room. The room was a mess. On the wall in front of him, there was a portrait of a white-clothed woman with a faint smile on her face. It was Wang Zhangxue.
"Why, why did you marry someone else?" Huang Qiping looked at Wang Zhangxue's portrait and muttered to himself. As he spoke, his eyes reddened and a few drops of tears flowed down his cheeks and into his mouth. It tasted salty.
Suddenly, there was a rush of knocking on the door.
"How many times have I told you not to disturb me?" Huang Qiping frowned and said angrily. Then, he threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground.
With a "peng" sound, the wine bottle shattered, and the wine inside spilled all over the floor. A strong aroma of wine immediately filled the room.
"What, your father can't find you?" A man's voice came from outside the room.
After that, with a "bang", the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a yellow robe walked in.
"Father, why are you here?" Seeing the middle-aged man, Huang Qiping's face changed greatly. He hurriedly stood up and stood aside.
Seeing the messy room and smelling the wine fragrance in the air, the middle-aged man frowned. He glanced at the portrait on the wall and said, "Hmph, if I didn't come, who knows what would have happened to you."
"Your son is unfilial and has troubled you." Huang Qiping lowered his head, not daring to look at the middle-aged man's eyes.
"Unfilial? You still know that you are unfilial? Tell me, how are you unfilial? "The middle-aged man snorted and scolded loudly.
"Your son …" Huang Qiping's eyes reddened. He didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face softened. He sighed and said, "I know that the person you like is going to marry someone else. I can understand that you are unhappy, but do you want to continue being dispirited?"
Huang Qiping was silent when he heard this.
"Well, freshen up. Some friends are looking for you. I've arranged for them to be in the hall. Go and meet them!" The middle-aged man patted Huang Qiping's shoulder and turned to leave.
"Friends? Who would come to find me at this time? "Huang Qiping's eyes flashed with curiosity.
With this curiosity, Huang Qiping washed up, changed into a clean set of clothes, and walked towards the hall.
In the hall, two young men were sitting on chairs. One of them, a blue-clothed man with a mustache, looked at the door from time to time. His eyes were full of expectation.
If someone looked at the neck of the man in blue, they would discover that this person did not have an Adam's apple. Surprisingly, this was a woman dressed as a man.
Before long, Huang Qiping walked into the hall under the expectant gaze of the blue-clothed man.
"Eh, you two are …" Huang Qiping couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw the two of them. His face revealed a thoughtful expression. He didn't seem to know these two people!
"You go out first. I have something to discuss with Huang Dao.
After Huang Qiping left, the smile on the middle-aged man's face disappeared. He said in a deep voice, "Keep a close eye on the young master. Don't let him mess around. Especially on the ninth day of the New Year. You must keep a close eye on him. If necessary, tie him up."
"Yes, Clan Leader." A somewhat low voice came from the stone room on the right.
Reality proved that the Huang Clan Leader thought too much. The next day, Huang Qiping returned to his original appearance. He was gentle, polite, and sincere. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
The ninth day of the New Year was the day of the Wang Clan's marriage. Early in the morning, the Wang Clan Manor began to be decorated with lanterns and colored banners. Everywhere was decorated with red banners representing the festive season. The entire manor was filled with a festive atmosphere. All the Wang Clan members had excited expressions on their faces.
Wang Zhangxue, who was wearing a red wedding dress, sat on the red bridal sedan with the help of Wang Zhangyue.
The Family Li's wedding procession could be said to be luxurious. Two Foundation Establishment cultivators each rode a huge red bird. There was also a group of Family Li members wearing red wedding dresses and riding red flying magic tools behind the large red birds.
Under the gazes of the Wang Clan members, the large red bird carrying the bridal sedan slowly rose into the air and flew in a certain direction.
Seeing this scene, Wang Mingzhan couldn't help but cry.
Wang Zhangyue looked at her sister's departing figure with a thoughtful expression on her face.
On a mountain near Demon Subduing Mountain, Huang Qiping stood at the top of the mountain and looked at the bridal sedan on the large red bird. His expression was uncertain. Beside him stood five Huang Clan guards.
Only when the large red bird disappeared from sight did Huang Qiping withdraw his gaze and let out a long sigh. At dusk, Huang Qiping returned to the clan. He ate and cultivated as usual. Seeing this, Huang Qiping's father finally let go of the stone in his heart.
As the days passed, Huang Qiping's wedding day drew closer and closer. There were too many things to take care of, but there was nothing unusual with his son. Thus, the Huang Clan Head withdrew the people monitoring his son.
In addition to cultivation, Huang Qiping would occasionally help write invitations. This made his father feel very gratified, thinking that his son had walked out of his previous relationship.
What was unexpected was that just a few days before the wedding, Huang Qiping left without saying goodbye. He only left behind a letter. What disappeared with Huang Qiping was a portrait hanging in his room.
Huang Qiping's father was furious and immediately sent people to search for him. The Family Li's territory was the focus of the search. They even had a conflict with the Family Li's disciples because of this. Fortunately, they didn't cause too much trouble.
As for the reason why they mistakenly entered the Family Li's territory, the Huang Clan Head was vague and casually made up a reason. Although the Family Li's people didn't believe it, they didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Thus, the matter was settled. Over time, people forgot about this matter.
With Wang Changsheng, an outstanding disciple of the Taiqing Palace, and with the help of in-laws, as well as a series of methods, the Wang Clan's power increased by several times in just a few years. In Yueyang County, no, in the entire Ningzhou, they had a small reputation. Of course, there was also the help of the Zhao Clan.
It was worth mentioning that not long after Huang Qiping left without saying goodbye, Wang Changyue also ran away from home. Similarly, she only left behind a letter. This caused the Wang Clan's upper echelons to think that Huang Qiping had kidnapped Wang Changyue. The two clans even negotiated for a while. Because they were family friends and there was no evidence, the matter was left unsettled.
